ROMANTIC PICKS Stressed? Frustrated? Scared? So am I…How About an Escape For a Few Hours—Free!

March 25, 2020 by jhines340

Never in my wildest imagination did I ever consider what is happening in the world today. Like so many others, I haven’t a clue where this is going. I commend the front-line help in this pandemic from medical care, police, fire-fighters, and the little talked about groups like grocery workers and delivery men and women.

I’ve been thinking of making a complete series free for readers until this corona virus pandemic is over. Usually Indie authors give the first book free so readers will become interested and buy the other books in the series. This won’t be about me making money. I won’t be. I want to give readers an escape for a few hours…an entire series.

This would be my goodwill gesture. I used to be a medical technologist which means if I was working, I would be running the corona virus tests. I was injured at work over three years ago and left me unable to work in a lab anymore. I can’t go run errands for anyone because of my age and asthma. I want to do something.

I decided to give the complete Winds of Betrayal series away free. All four books are included: Winds of Betrayal, The Darkness of Deception, The Heavens Shall Fall (one of my best books) and Set Fire to the Rain.

There has been a little hiccup in my attempt to make Winds of Betrayal free for everyone—Amazon. Its a trying time and I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt that they are going to address the price match this book. It’s really up to them. I have left the link to Amazon up with this post so anyone that wants it free on Amazon can report the lower price. I have emailed them numerous times (for days), but like I said, business isn’t going on as usual, but I’ll admit I’m disappointed it hasn’t gone free yet. If after reporting it and it still doesn’t go free, email me at jerri.hines@jerrihines.com, I will send you a PDF. It is FREE on Nook, iTunes, and Kobo.

For the next few weeks, everyone is going to be hanging out at home. Binge-watching is high on everyone’s list. I’ve been watching Picard on CBS Access. It’s ok. I think I like it just because it has Picard in it. With loving the Star Trek series, it makes sense that I wanted to watch anything new with the series. It’s been fun seeing Seven of Nine, Riker and Troi. (Though, I don’t know what happened to Seven of Nine’s romance with Chakotay.) Saying that, I have only enjoyed Picard and Star Trek Discovery on CBS Access, but I have enjoyed everything on Disney Plus. My grandson enjoys Marvel, Star Wars, and the Disney movies. I enjoy National Geographic Wild such as The Incredible Dr. Pol and Yukon Vet. I still feel the best place to binge watch is Netflix: Grace and Frankie, Breaking Bad, The Office, Ozark, Longmire, Mars, DareDevil, The Punisher, BloodLine, Haven, …. the list goes on and on. Moreover, Netflix has a whole list of romantic movies. I have Amazon Prime, but don’t watch it often. If you do, why not list a few shows to watch in the comments. One show that I have totally enjoyed is on NBC, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. It’s different, and I love the music.

The best escape to me is always a book, especially a romance. I have a whole list for you to choose from from recommended authors and if you enjoy, check out the authors other books as well.

In this electrifying romantic suspense set in the steamy streets of New Orleans, Lieutenant Commander Nik Baudin, accidently meets up with an identical twin he never knew existed. When his brother Max goes missing, Nik assumes his identity as Special Agent Maximilian. This gives him access to FBI files making it easier to arrest the gangsters who attacked his brother and to stop their trafficking of underage girls. Being that Nik has specialized commando training, he’s the perfect man for the job – that’s if his PTSD doesn’t kick in and leave him cowering in a corner.

Special Agent Maya Barnes can’t believe it when she spots her partner, Max Foster, wandering along the French market without a care in the world. Since he’d been beaten and had gone missing weeks earlier, they all believed him dead. There’s only one problem… though this man might look exactly like the missing agent, she knows differently.

ALEX’S ATONEMENT ~ BARGAIN UPCOMING RELEASE ~ MARCH 10 $0.99

To be the hero he once was, he needs to save her…

Alex Belgarde has carried the guilt of his father’s death for more than ten years. Every year, as his family’s company falls deeper into debt, the guilt eats away more of his soul until there’s only one answer. Prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice to save his father’s legacy, Alex takes off on a frigid winter day with no radio and very little fuel in his seaplane. He’s using up the last of his reserve tank, preparing to drop from the sky, when he sees plane wreckage below.

Irene Rose has spent her life running away and chasing her dream. But after a possible terminal diagnosis, she realizes how lonely her life has become and is ready to forgive her sister and beg for her family’s forgiveness. Instead of arriving on the island of her birth, Irene finds herself stranded on an uninhabited island in the Gulf of Alaska. Unbeknownst to her, the pilot of the plane she chartered was a drug runner, so he didn’t alert authorities as they crashed.

While Alex’s illogical idea to save his father’s company is thwarted because of his compulsion to help, he finds purpose in offering aid to the beautiful and intelligent Irene. The attraction is mutual until Irene persuades Alex to tell her the real reason he can’t merely fly them to safety or call for help. Now the two castaways will have to fight the harsh winter elements, as well as the drug smugglers who lost their cargo in the wreck, if they want to make it home alive. Not easy tasks when Irene refuses to trust Alex to get her home safely. She simply can’t get over the fact that as talented, tough, and tantalizing as he is, he was going to throw his life away. Especially when her life will probably be cut short.

For the first time in his life, Alex will have to face his demons instead of running from them to win the girl and prove to himself that he’s a real hero…
